Chapter 16: We Met Ten Years Ago
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Han Xiao took Chu Ge to the door of the house, and after the door opened from the inside, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching stiffly.
Han's mother was wearing a cheongsam, and Han's father was wearing a suit, and the atmosphere looked inexplicably solemn.
"This is the son-in-law, he's so tall, come in. ”
"Uncle, aunt, this is a gift for you, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Han's mother and Han's father enthusiastically took the mooncake gift box and fruit in Chu Singer, one helped him put the suitcase away, and the other poured water for him, as if he forgot that there was a biological daughter standing outside the door, Han Xiao dragged the suitcase into the door and silently closed the door.
"It's been hard work all the way, drink some water first. ”
Chu Ge took the water cup handed by Han's mother and said politely, "Thank you, Auntie." ”
"Old Han, let's eat first, it's past five o'clock, and my son-in-law should be hungry." ”
Han Xiao was very suspicious at this moment that he was not biological.
At the dinner table, Han's mother kept picking up vegetables for Chu Ge, and Han Xiao silently buried her head in cooking.
"Son-in-law, how long have you known our family Xiaoxiao?"
Hearing the son-in-law, Han Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her head and said weakly: "Mom, we just dated, isn't it a little too early to call the son-in-law." ”
"You didn't tell me my son-in-law's name, so your father and I don't call my son-in-law's name, right, old Han. ”
Han's mother glanced at Han's father, and Han's father nodded hurriedly.
"Auntie, my name is Chu Ling, Ling is the Ling who can be Ling, you and your uncle can call me Xiao Chu. Chu Ge said.
Han Ma praised: "Chu Ling, this name is not only good, but also has a good meaning," and asked again, "Xiao Chu, what are you doing?" ”
Chu Ge replied: "I'm in media operations. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Han Xiao, who was silently picking up food beside him, "I am usually a little busy at work, and the time to accompany Xiaoxiao may be a little less, but, uncle, aunt, please believe me, I really like Xiaoxiao." ”
Han Xiao almost choked on the rice when he heard this.
"Xiao Chu, how long have you known He Xiaoxiao?" asked Han's mother.
Chu Ge said: "Actually, I knew Xiaoxiao ten years ago,"
Han Xiao looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, not knowing for a moment whether what he said was true or false.
"But at that time, I was a grade older than Xiaoxiao, and I only met once or twice, Xiaoxiao may not remember, and then my parents went abroad for work reasons, and I also went to school abroad, and I was able to meet Xiaoxiao again after ten years, I cherish it, although Xiaoxiao promised to be my girlfriend for less than two months, but I will spend my whole life cherishing her and being good to her. ”
Mother Han was very moved in her heart when she heard this, and said to Han Xiao seriously: "Xiaoxiao, Xiao Chu is so good to you, you also have to be good to others, do you hear?" ”
Han Xiao was still a little unable to come back to her senses, and was glanced at by Han's mother, she could only nod silently.
After eating, Chu Ge helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Han's father and Han's mother were very satisfied with this son-in-law, especially Han's mother, who couldn't wait to pack up and marry Han Xiao immediately.
"Xiaoxiao, my mother told you, Xiao Chu is such a good boy, it's rare now, you have to hurry, I think I'll get married after the year." ”
Han Xiao looked at her mother in disbelief, and her voice was a little deformed with fright, "Mom, are you kidding, you will get married in the next year, this is too fast." ”
"Then let's get engaged first, such a good son-in-law, I can't let other people's girls run away, I'll go and discuss the engagement date with your father, and I have to discuss it with my in-laws." “
After that, Han's mother went to find Han's father, Han Xiao couldn't stop her, she suddenly regretted making the decision to come back.
Chu Ge was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Han's mother and Han's father were checking the auspicious days of the zodiac in the study.
Han Xiao quietly walked outside the door of the study and put her ear on the door to listen, and heard his mother say that the tenth day of the first lunar month was a good day, so she quickly slipped away to the kitchen.
"Mr. Chu, no, my mother is going to get engaged to the two of us. Han Xiao whispered anxiously.
Chu Ge's action of washing the dishes stopped, and after calming down his tumbling heart, he rinsed the dishes with water, then turned off the faucet, put the dishes away, and after doing all this calmly, he said, "Let's talk about it then." After a pause, he said, "Engagement is not marriage, why are you so nervous, why, are you so unwilling to engage me." ”
"No," Han Xiao quickly explained.
"That's willing. Chu Ge interrupted.
Han Xiao didn't know how to answer, she felt that her mind had become a mess, and after barely clearing her thoughts, she asked such a question, "Was Mr. Chu's name Chu Ling before?"
Chu Ge said: "Chu Ge is my stage name, and my real name is Chu Ling." ”
Han Xiao nodded, and asked again, "Ten years ago, did we really meet?" Chu Ge leaned down slightly towards her, the corners of his mouth hooked into a chuckle, "Guess." ”
"Xiao Chu, Auntie has something to discuss with you. ”
Hearing Han's mother's voice, both of them were a little flustered, Chu Ge turned on the faucet and continued to wash the dishes, and Han Xiao walked to the front of the refrigerator to find something to eat.
When Han's mother walked into the kitchen, she saw Han Xiao holding a tomato in her hand and was ready to eat, she glanced at her with her eyes, and Han Xiao obediently put the tomatoes back in the refrigerator.
"Didn't Xiao Chu buy fruit, just in the living room, go eat some fruit. Han's mother said.
Han Xiao felt that her mother was going to discuss the engagement with the boss, so she refused to leave, and was chased away by Han's mother with a look.
"Xiao Chu, aunt and uncle know that you really like our family Xiaoxiao, then you might as well get engaged first, you see when your parents are free, let's meet first. ”
"Okay, I'll call them later. ”
Han Xiao hid outside the kitchen and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, and when she was done, she immediately went to the study to find her father.
"Dad, can you tell Mom to let her not be so anxious, it's not that I can't get married. Han Xiao said with a bitter gourd face.
Dad Han explained: "Xiaoxiao, in fact, I think Xiao Chu's kid is very good, polite, and diligent, the key is to be good to you," Speaking of this, Dad Han glanced outside the door and secretly said to Han Xiao, "Your cousin is getting married." ”
Han Xiao suddenly said: "No wonder my mother is in such a hurry to marry me off, it turns out that she was stimulated." ”
Dad Han raised his hand and shushed, "Be quiet, don't let your mother hear it." ”
At night, Han Xiao lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, but he received a call from Xu Xi again.
"Don't call me anymore, okay. ”
"Xiaoxiao, I just want to tell you, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, it should be night over there, then you rest early, I'll hang up." ”
Looking at the phone that hung up, Han Xiao was a little confused, but there were enough things today, and she didn't bother to think about it, after putting the phone on the bedside table, she closed her eyes and began to count the sheep.
She didn't know how many thousand sheep were counted, and she fell asleep in a daze.
